Great selection of dishes. There was even a hummus salad which was a great way to enjoy hummus if you're gluten free.

Delicious fluffy hummus and soft warm pita. What could go wrong? I got a platter but I'm getting a sandwich next time. The pita is too good.

Yoooo, this place is fire! The food was literally sooo great! I mean the portion sizes and price point was far more than what we expected. The hummus was nice and creamy- I personally love that consistency. The pita bread- I've never had such amazingly soft, thick and unexplainable not dry inside. That was my favorite! Snug fit on the inside of the restaurant but they also have outdoor seating. There wasn't a long wait at all. In and out! read more

Great Mediterranean Food near Penn campus!!! Found this place on a whim and boy was it tasty! Ordering was quick and easy at the counter. The cashier was friendly and nice. The best part was I didn't have to wait long for food either! And the food is priced fairly for Philly. I ordered the chicken shawarma platter with fries, hummus, baba ghanoush, and tomato cucumber salad mix! Everything was delicious, except the baba ghanoush. The egg plant spread was too strong of tahini or sesame paste, which put it on the more bitter side. Plus it was an additional fee, so I'd pass next time. Loved the hummus. Good thing bc they have hummus in their name haha. Ambiance was cozy, casual and hot. Ventilation could be better, but they have outdoor seating as well! Definitely would come back to try more sandwiches, platters and other goodies on the menu!! Tldr Food 4/5 Service 4/5 Ambiance 3.75/5 read more

Hummus Grill - Beef Kabob - Mediterranean Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Stopped in for a quick meal on Eid to celebrate the holiday with a friend. I was super hungry after working a long shift right before this so I was super excited to eat. This place is a little hole in the wall type place across the street from the UPenn campus whose inside is super casual, mostly takeout and pickup orders, and sort of looks like a cross between a restaurant and a bodega. I walked to the back of the restaurant where there is a place to put your order in and see the menu. I ordered a lamb platter and for the platters you can choose 3 sides so I chose hummus, tabouli, and cucumbers. It also comes automatically with a pita (choice of white or whole wheat) and French fries. After ordering you sit back at a random table and wait for the cashier to call your name. Took me about 15 min for my name to be called. This whole meal was amazing and super cost effective at like $13-14. The lamb was well seasoned, flavorful, and juicy. The hummus was super delightful, smooth, and the highlight of all my sides. The tabouli was just okay with a little too heavy on the parsley for my personal preference. The cucumber was refreshing and also well seasoned. The fries were crispy and for me, an always needed side. And the pita...wow... just so fresh, I was able to rip it open to reveal a beautiful, even pocket inside. I decided to dip half of it and pick up small pieces of lamb, hummus, etc. and then I used the other half to make a pita sandwich. If I am ever back in the neighborhood, I will definitely have this again! Wish there was something like this near where I live. read more

Hummus Grill - Lamb Platter with Hummus, Tabouli, Cucumber, Fries, and White Pita - Mediterranean Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Hidden gem! My partner works nearby and I decided to treat her for lunch. Best idea! The restaurant is small, but has plenty of seating and even two tables outside for outdoor seating. I ordered the beef kabob platter and she had the combo platter with beef and chicken. Each dish comes with a choice of rice or fries as well as 3 sides and a pita. I chose cucumbers, hummus, and cabbage. She had falafels, babaganoush, and tabbouleh. EVERYTHING was extremely fresh and delicious! I was really surprised at how flavorful the chicken and beef were. The service was also good, fast, and friendly. Perfect place to stop in for a no frills lunch or dinner. It's also possible to find metered parking nearby! Adding this spot to my rotation!! read more

Hummus Grill - Hummus Sandwich - Mediterranean Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

So fresh! Some of the freshest fast-style food I've had in Philly. If you like to eat plant based you'll be in heaven here. The Greek salad and stuffed grape leaves were both perfection! I also got the portobello sandwich in pita with tzatziki, tomato, cucumber, and red onion. They did not skimp on the mushrooms which I really appreciated, although they were a bit over cooked and dry. But the rest of the veggies made up for it, especially the cabbage which was so flavorful. I'm going to be honest the hummus was on the bland side imo, but it was silky smooth. The pita is super fluffy, I really enjoyed it. Much of the menu is build-your-own style so you can customize everything to your taste. You can really tell that they care about making good food here with the quality and freshness of the ingredients. I can't believe it was my first time trying Hummus Grill! Don't overlook this place for a healthy and tasty meal. read more

I don't know how I don't eat here everyday. I tend to get the chicken shawarma meal when I go with cucumbers, beets and baba ganoush. I've also gotten the catering platter and it's a steal to feed the whole family. I live in NJ and work in Philly and every-time I bring home food from humus I'm a hero. You'll be one too. read more

I ordered from the catering menu for a university seminar on the Penn campus, and it turned out to be the best luncheon I've organized in 13 years. The mouthwatering aroma filled the hallway as the food was set out on a makeshift table, drawing in happy seminar attendees. Everything looked amazing and tasted fresh and delicious. I wouldn't hesitate to order from here again! read more

A great place for a quick lunch! We were looking for something light and refreshing, and this place hit the spot. my friend got the salmon salad, and I got a plate with salad, beets, baba ganoush, and hummus. The pita bread with the baba ganoush was to die for - I've now incorporated pita bread regularly into my weekly meal plans! will definitely be coming back! read more

Hummus Grill - Mediterranean Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Fast casual space with super tasty hummus, falafel, and fresh pita bread. The falafel sandwich was delicious. My only gripe was the hummus sandwich that my kiddo selected. It was literally hummus in a pita bread, which wouldn't have been so bad, but the hummus was soupy (it's delicious but very soupy) and it must have been a full cup of hummus in one pita, which resulted in a messy and unpleasant experience. read more

Great lunch spot near campus! The menu has a ton of options, from plates to sandwiches to salads, so you can pick depending on how healthy you want to be. I ordered the lamb pita sandwich, which was packed with juicy lamb. I especially liked the hummus and how silky it was. It went great with all the fillings inside the pita. read more

Solid, unassuming little restaurant in University City that's perfect for satisfying your hummus and baba ganoush cravings. If you have a few minutes between classes to wait on your order, Hummus Grill is the perfect place to stop into for a freshly made sandwich or salad. My favorite is the chicken schwarma sandwich, fixed up with veggies, hot sauce baba ganoush, and the works. read more

I adore hummus grill. Everything from here is so flavorful, tasty, and fresh and i really think they have my fav falafel ive tried. Their dips are amazing and the service and quality of the food has been impeccable from pick up to in store to catering for a group of 60. I usually opt for the falafel sandwich, but the platters are amazing and i love the fried eggplant side. I just wish they were open on the weekends so i could enjoy it more often! Lol read more

I think this place is such a nice fast-casual spot! Recently tried it and got a lot of food for a good price. The hummus and shawarma are very good. We also met the owner and he was very nice and chatty. Asked us how our food was. Would definitely recommend if you want a quick lunch with some good food! read more

(Pick-up order via Snackpass -- 40% all platters during happy hour!!) Rainy day got me in the mood for some warm, carb-y Mediterranean food, and y'all KNOW the happy hour deal at Hummus Grill is hard to resist. Tried the Vegan Shawarma Platter ($5.99) for the first time; I added sides of hummus, french fries, cucumber+tomato, fried eggplants (!!!! yes), and hot sauce. Everything is pretty standard, pretty yum -- plus the hot sauce is actually hot! Otherwise, decent grub for the price, and you really can't beat that Snackpass discount. read more

Great, easy spot in university city. I highly recommend the truffle oil lamb platter. It's absolutely flavorful, and It's always perfectly cooked, sometimes with crispy ends almost like tibs. the hint of truffle really elevates the dish and the large servings of the sides including rice and pita and/or salad just hit the spot. I also love their hummus, it's less acidic than most but I find it really appetizing. Their tahini is also a little bit different (heavy on parsley) and quite delectable. Overall great spot with wide selections. Friendly service and on the affordable side. read more

Walked past Hummus Grill every day for years before finally visiting, and I regret not going earlier! It's a little cramped inside, but there are a good number of seats if you want to eat in. I got the Greek salad - AMAZING! They used good lettuce - no cheap iceberg - and really piled on the toppings to the point where I couldn't even finish. Most places put 4 olives on their salad, sprinkle a few cubes of feta on, and call it a day. But Hummus Grill doesn't cheap out! They also give a free pita with every entree. My dining companions got the falafel platter and the chicken platter - even my very picky middle eastern dad loved the food (though he was predictably disappointed in the rice). For under $10 a meal, with HUGE portions, Hummus Grill is an easy choice over the Greek restaurant down the street, or other spots in the area. read more

DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS. I ordered delivery from Grubhub and the platter arrived smashed into one big clump of food. I reached out to Grubhub about the food and they gave me a refund without asking. About 5-10mins later, I got a call from someone at Hummus cursing me out, calling me names, and telling me I stole from them. No customer should be harassed because their employees messed up an order. read more

If anyone is ever in the University city area, I encourage you to check hummus grill out!. The food here is delicious and fresh. The staff was nice and friendly and the service was excellent and fast. I came here today, on the prowl for a good tasting salad while walking down Walnut St, I then saw Hummus grill, I went in, checked out the menu and noticed that they offered salads Yes!! So I decided to try the roasted pear salad! I also got hummus on the side and whole wheat pita bread. I have to mention when I first looked at the salad I didn't think it was going to be all that good, it just looked kinda bland and dull, but as I begin to pour the dressing on the salad and mix everything together I begin to discover all the other hidden ingredients. My salad had of course roasted pears, cranberries, delicious chunks of goat cheese, candied pecans, onions and arugula what more can I say it was just wonderful. The hummus and pita bread was also tasty. I highly recommend this place for good quality Mediterranean food! read more

Hummus grill is on 40th and Walnut right next to McDonalds, and it is an easy place to miss. If you ever walk past it without going inside, I promise it is a mistake. The seating may not be the best; you are crammed into a small hallway of circular tables and tiny chairs. Yet, this small space can sure make some delicious cuisine. There are large variety of options that are Vegetarian friendly and affordable. You receive a large quantity of quality food without breaking the bank. I ordered the falafel platter which gives you a customizable assortment of choices as a side. I chose to have basmati rice instead of fries, and I chose hummus, tauboleh, and cucumbers as sides. It was amazing! The falafel, crunchy on the outside, soft and tasty in the inside, was cooked perfectly! The hummus definitely tasted fresh and homemade. The rice didn't have any seasoning and tasted a bit undercooked, but overall was an amazing meal! I definitely suggest giving Hummus grill a try! read more

This spot is a great place to go to if you are in the Penn area. I haven't found a single thing I don't like here. The first time I came here I ordered the lamb platter with pita, carrots, hummus, and fried eggplant. The lamb was very flavorful and juicy. It was definitely a favorite. I also really like how the pita is warm when they serve it, and the hummus taste fresh especially with the olive oil drizzle. The carrots were OK, I just don't like the boiled, soggy carrot texture. However, the fried eggplant, let me tell you, was the bomb.com. It was perfectly crisp and thin to soak all the flavors in. Some other sides I like are the cabbage and the mix of tomatoes and cucumbers. They add the light vinegar taste that enhances the flavors of the meat. I also enjoy the chicken shawarma, which is very delicious shredded chicken. The chicken kabob is more like chunks of grilled chicken thigh, if you're more into that. The beef kebab is my least favorite because it is more on the dry side. Definitely get a lot of tahini. It adds that extra taste of creaminess. Plus, if you order on SnackPass, the platters are 40% off during happy hour! Definitely a steal! read more

Yum! A cute little place with friendly owners, and the shawarma platter was great. The chicken was juicy and well seasoned, the pita was so hot, fluffy, and soft... hummus was creamy...the tomato and cucumber side was soooo crunchy and refreshing. Same for the tabouli. The portion was also huge so I am gonna enjoy the food again tomorrow. read more

Is it the best Mediterranean food I've ever eaten? No. HOWEVER, it's quick, delicious, convenient, and best of all - CHEAP! For starters, you can order online - and it's a super user friendly set-up. I ordered the Shawarma Platter for $11. You can choose your pita (I chose whole wheat), rice (white/ brown/ basmati), and 3 sides - I ordered hummus, cucumber/ tomato salad, and baba ganoush. For the same food at other establishments, I've paid close to $10 more. I was super impressed with the portions (EASILY two meals!), and the flavors were fresh. The pita was incredible - very fluffy and warm: 10/10 would make a great pillow. My coworker order the SIX DOLLAR (SIX! DOLLARS!!!) falafel sandwich, and it was HEAPING! It must have weighed at least a pound. My other friend ordered the chicken kabob, and it was beautiful. I think I'll venture to try that next time. They do deliver, but there's a delivery charge. This is a great option for a small last-minute lunch meeting or a quick, delicious dinner option. read more

I've never eaten in the restaurant, but I've had takeout multiple times. This is hands down the best Middle Eastern food I've had in the US! It's absolutely delicious! Skip the big name place with the higher prices down the street and come here! You're welcome! read more

Located in University City near the theatres, Hummus Grill is a great place to go for some Mediterranean food. I came here with a friend right before we went to see a movie, and we enjoyed our experience. The place has a fun vibe, with a decent amount of available seating. We ordered our food, which came out pretty quickly. I got the schnitzel and she the falafel. The best part is the amount of sides that come with your order: rice, pita, and 3 sides of your choice. I HIGHLY recommend getting the hummus as a side - it tastes delicious on the pita or your main dish choice. I tried some of the falafel, which was pretty good but not the best I've ever had. The schnitzel was slightly overcooked, but luckily it's hard to completely mess up a schnitzel. All in all, we had a great time. There are a few extra sauces you can add, which are all tasty. I was definitely full from all of the sides by the time we left! read more

This place has delicious lab kebabs. I ordered the platter which allowed me to choose 3 sides. I opted for hummus, cabbage and baba ganoush. Adding baba ganoush adds an up charge of $0.75 which I believe it worth the cost. One would think you get even portions of your 3 sides; unfortunately, the way the standard styrofoam takeout container only had to spots for sides and my baba ganoush and cabbage split one side while hummus was in the other. I'd expect side I had to pay an upgrade that would at least be the one you get a larger portion of but that incorrect. Disappointing. Additionally, they failed to include my tahini and hot sauce, so that was unfortunate when eating my lamb. My husband ordered the salmon salad, but unfortunately, they forget his dressing. This left him with a dry salad and a quite a dry piece of salmon. It was a bit overcooked. Luckily I gave him some of my hummus to try to mix in his salad to help with the dryness. Sort of a a big let down for dinner tonight. read more

Great service, we got the food delivered to a group of about 10 of us. We did ask for them to number the food so we could distinguish between the platters, which unfortunately they didn't but that did not take away from the quality of the food. Such vast options all with great flavors. They included extra pitas and gave us tubs of hot sauce and tahini, adding to the flavor of the food. Great delivery place as well, super accommodating to a big group! read more

Came here for lunch. Got the lamb kebib and chicken shawarma platter. Comes with 3 sides and a pita. Ordered a side of grape leaves. The grape leaves were meh and definitely wouldn't recommend. Tasted very soggy. Portions were great! Hummus was definitely best side. Also tried potatoes, taboula and tomatoes and beets for sides. Hummus clearly best haha. The portions were quite large. I had to eat it over two meals. I preferred the lamb kebob to chicken shwarma. Would recommend for easy fast medetrraian. read more
